Great job, SCA!



This year’s SCA members were busy!  Besides planning and publicizing the school-wide Spirit Days, they sponsored a canned food drive for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.  They also helped to raise over $700 for Wells for South Sudan and over $1,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  They are currently sponsoring a drive to collect items for the SPCA and have initiated a petition asking the Child Nutrition Program to make a change to school lunches next year.  We are so proud of the leadership and hard work of these students!

4th graders are learning to solder!



Mrs. Whitenack's 4th graders began learning to solder today. 



With help from parent Mike Moxham, students learned the basics and began assembling their own blinking "Makey" badges. They had a great time!
